yes they are spikes and nearly double in latency but still VERY low latency.
it wont hurt your gaming not at that low unless your getting packet loss.

verizon isnt known for having the best dsl or networks out there.

run a long ping and see how many of them time out over a period of 5 minutes ...

Wut i can do to solve my problem ? Before i have the same plan with same company, but different location n i got 35kb/s down n 20kb/s up. I thanks all the help who any1 can give thx

just cuz you had the same package in a different part of town does not mean in any way shape or form that you will ...

V_LESTAT

But it give me % that go up in that port. like more bandwith from the same connection.

i hate to tell you this but it didnt, if you remove the bridge and try it again chances are you're going to get similar results.

bridging to a non active connection undoubtedly changes some registry settings ...

TCP overhead isnt something thats tweakable, its just how the protocol was written.

thank wee

i pretty much figured that but heck its worth a shot to ask.

the kernel needs those segments for packets so.. no tweaking there.

im getting a pretty much constant 4650/230 except for those days you ...

V_LESTAT

no there isnt anything that i have ever heard of to reduce tcp overhead. its simply the part so tcp that is used for Ack and such like when your mtu is 1500 there is 28 of that that is reserved for tcp.

i simply cant imagine that all 400k is used for it. but its highly possible.

if you go to ...

V_LESTAT

no i would never use those goofy program cuz they dont work.

I've never had luck with cable nut either, its never done anything but mess up my connection. I try to tell people that with Win2k and WinXP right out of the box XP is set up for the best speeds your gunna get off cable.

Gotta remember ...

V_LESTAT

as many of us know and experience every day there is a thing called TCP overhead.
Its basically a portion of your bandwidth thats reserved/used for all those packets that are needed for tCP to do its thing.

but as bandwidth increases so does the overhead.

right now here is where im at.

Mediacom ...

V_LESTAT

steele i highly doubt that statement. you're lucky if you get a 10-15% increase at best.. small lans maybe more but larger lans nah the network is so bloated the tweak isnt going to result in much. windows already is set for about the best speeds that its gunna get. and many times the tweak can be ...

V_LESTAT

yeah i know what you mean,

we thought it was looping thru to the router which is only 10/100 but even removing it the max he gets is 286mbps.

its a brand new netgear,,, as in brand new to the market,,, netgear just released it. there isnt even firmware posted for it

V_LESTAT

hey man i did find this on the Netgear website,, i know yours is dlink but look into it maybe dlink is also working on a new driver or firmware

http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101412.asp

and yes XP SP2 screwed the netgear routers up,, not the router persay just the way the pc interacts ...

V_LESTAT

ive never heard of it crashing XP,, i cant really see a tcp/ip tweak crashing your system seems like maybe your doing more than registry tweaks.

if your running ram drives or other oddball tweaks DONT.

stick with simple barebones dsl tweaks.

i for one agree with everything else you've said. i ...

V_LESTAT

bump

h e l p steele or coffee ??

V_LESTAT

wow no one running gigabyte network LAN wants to take a stab at this ?

V_LESTAT

how about you turn off Windows Firewall.

no windows update can cause you to quit talking to your modem.

how about pushing the RESET button on the back of the modem or have you tried already.

and what did tech support say the default router IP address is ??? typically its 192.168.2.1 or 192.168 ...

V_LESTAT

i have a belkin router that you can disable NAT on.. and still keep it as a router,, and not a gateway.

turning NAT off makes networking a pain in the arse though i dont know why they have tht option there.

if you dont want nat or a router or a firewall just go buy a switch

V_LESTAT

ok this isnt for me its for a buddy who just got his gigalan set up.

he has a server which he runs and also a desktop , they are both connected to the netgear GS605 Gigalan Switch, which in turn is connected to a Linksys 5 port router.

Server NIC - Netgear GA311
Desktop NIC - Onboard Realtek 10 ...

V_LESTAT

off topic but

steele how come someone dont update cablenut css files with the latest "optimal" settings for everything.

i just downloaded it and loaded the cable fast setting and it loaded like 8 settings, and none of them were worth a poo. none of the standard settings even showed up.

and once ...

V_LESTAT

ok i didnt want to learn anything

V_LESTAT

is it just me or are those cable companies offering extreme cable loosing out on latency.

i have 3000/256 and everyone whom ive talked to in my local ISP are had better latency with the old 1500/256

now your posting 5000/768 and your latency is higher yet.

i can only think that with the ...

V_LESTAT

then steele as always i welcome your input.

i do know for a fact that his rwin is wrong.

and rwin is a multiple of your mss. so how am i wrong. ?

this all started over my gaming pings being somewhat lackluster, and server lists never showing more than a few servers below 100ms. thus im missing ...

V_LESTAT

ok i been going round with a guy over at dslreports about his bogus rwin setting for 3000/256 cable
his setting is 32767 he reports any other setting causes his speed to be reduced to 1.5-2.5meg not 3meg thats not possible btw.

now i tried explaining to him that his rwin needs to be a multiple of ...

V_LESTAT

ok ive used what little knowledge i have left to try and tweak things to get better gaming pings but i cant.

my pings in games are highly playable ranging from 65-80 but they shouldnt be that high.

what i REALLY need to do. is be able to pull server lists for games and actually see games ther i ...

V_LESTAT

dude omg......

i dont want to be rude but are you serious ??

by modifying their xbox they mean they have a modchip or a tsop flashed xbox like me and they are playing their games from a copied disk or hard drive.

omg im laughing at you so hard,,, yes im not laughing with you cuz your not ...

V_LESTAT

yes and no about the same speed you should be happy can't even achieve that high of 2.7 outta of 3.0 no matter how many techs came out
i am happy with my service, thats what those ****'s over at dslreports forums dont seem to understand.
ive proposed a legitimate question and im the flipping ...

V_LESTAT

hows the 1 mbit upload running ?

go to dslreports.com and run a speed test see what your results are and post them.

V_LESTAT

HAHAHAHAHAHAH whats with the barney picture lol.

did you fellas change that ? or maybe its a anti leeching thingy from dslreports. haha

oh well ill upload the picture to my webspace.

and coffee as for all the clearing temps stuff, no need to waste time pasting all that in there bro,, i know all ...

V_LESTAT

service tag number, hhm so thats what dell calls a serial number ? lol

yeah it should be there ot another sticker somewhere, if not there then they should be able to find all your information with simply your name and or telephone number.
also look at your invoice if you still have it, and i hope ...

V_LESTAT

no not a bad attitude, although i have never seen his attitude in other posts, he made a valid point, but he didnt need to say it, we all know we are missing out on the special features of the x800. but hey if we all thought like that then we would never have an amulator for any of the afore ...

V_LESTAT

just wanted to throw you a quit shot here
Geforce 2 GTS - if that the real video card your using, better go buy a new video card at the same time you buy that game. i wont say the game WONT run on that card but you'll need to get behind it and push.

V_LESTAT

yup i agree dell gateway and pretty much all OEM pc makers lock their bios's for overclocking. if thats what your going after.

but make a quick call to tech support and they will be happy to let you know what cpu's the motherboard supports.

V_LESTAT

wth does that have to do with anything ? man you guys, take simple thread and twist it all around.
i never asked the legallity of this, i asked if you or others against this demo hack run emulators those were only examples. if you run anything on the hardware its not intended to, then to say this is ...

V_LESTAT

your so adament , sorry im a bad speller, about its stupid to run the demo this way, then tell me do you play mame roms ? kawa-x
do you have a modded xbox with an n64 emu or snes emu ? or any other emulator?
why ? seems stupid to me to do that since its not the hardware it was designed for.
see my ...

V_LESTAT

but absolutely i would LOVE to see this demo running real time on an x800 XT. and ive already started putting money aside.

V_LESTAT

But the whole point is to run the demos on the cards that support the new features...otherwise, it's rather useless.

theres also the point that even lower cards like my 9700 pro can run things that look that good and yet designers dont make them.
i mean sure a whole game with the amount of detail ...

V_LESTAT

just tried it,.

with agp aperature at 128 it skips during scenes. and with multisampling at 1 looks like jagges hell.
turn multisampling to 2 looks alot better.
suprising how good it looks at 640x480.

V_LESTAT

how long has this been out mark and what cards does the hack support
i imaging the 9700 9800 and 9800xt ?

V_LESTAT

not to mention the fact that your laptop isnt the same as your desktop,
differnt NIC different Drivers,,, the laptop nic can simply be optimised better.

V_LESTAT

man why are you worried about 10-20k ?
let me quote your words.
I'm using CableOne, and the advertised speed is 1500/200. I have two computers both running Win2K, and connected to the same router, which is connected to the cable modem. When I run speed tests on the laptop, I get around 1500 kbps ...

V_LESTAT

i just got to say this simply becuz you guys havent even mentioned it.

its onboard, go into the bios and see if there is a setting for 10 100 or auto.

now go into device manager and double click the NIC. go to proerties and advanced.
look thru the list of settings there in the advanced tab. look ...
